On the other hand, I can see libusb.h does explicitly include
winsock.h (not winsock2.h).
https://github.com/libusb/libusb/blob/master/libusb/libusb.h
So maybe this is a good idea to explicitly include winsock.h or
winsock2.h (incompatible
with each other).
BTW, libusb.h also has the calling convention for Windows (#define
LIBUSB_CALL WINAPI)
to make binaries (DLL) compatible from different compilers.
