Title:
  Support Twitter/StatusNet native retweeting from client

Status in Gwibber:
  Fix Released
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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?"
