Support for Twitter's new retweet functionality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Someone uses the new retweet function from the web to retweet

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The retweet does not appear in the Pidgin conversation window, though it 
can be seen in the timeline on the webpage. Would expect the retweet to 
appear.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WindowsXP and microblog 2.0.4

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not a fan of this new retweet feature, but I guess it should be 
possible to use it from Pidgin to retweet a message. Potentially it should 
be customisable, use the new retweet feature (which doesn't allow you to 
modify it) or use the manual 'RT' version.

Cool! Thank you very much somsaks.

Question. Do you also display retweeted (using new retweet feature) tweets in
mbpurple's conversation tab? That is, if I'm following someone and that someone
retweets from others, will I see it in the chat tab created by mbpurple?

Thanks!

I suppose so. At the least I saw official retweet from people if I use home 
timeline.

Home timeline is now default.
