PostUpdate comment incorrectly states in_reply_to_user_id will be set #197

Recently I've clarified that if a in_reply_to tweet does not contain 
"@username" where username is the user that sent the original tweet, the two 
tweets will not be linked.

The comment in twitter.py is misleading and I believe that at very least it 
should be corrected.  It might also be wise to simply add an overloaded method 
that takes username and prepends it for you (thus taking the mystery out of the 
situation).

What version of the product are you using?

I'm using the 0.8.1 release.

Please provide any additional information below.
