Title:
  Support Twitter/StatusNet native retweeting from client

Status in Gwibber:

Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Twitter supports this native retweeting functionality through the API:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-statuses-retweet

All that is needed is the original tweet's unique ID number.

identi.ca/status.net does the same, except make
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/retweet/25686488.xml
look like
http://identi.ca/api/statuses/retweet/25686488.xml
(that is not explicitly called out at http://status.net/wiki/Twitter-compatible_API but I just did it myself using curl.

This could probably be a setting in preferences (ugh, yet another?): "Use native retweeting/repeating functionality when available?"
