Replace GetReplies() Function with GetMentions() function to support Twitter Mentions.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Twitter.py has GetReplies() instead of GetMentions(). Twitter has
replaced Replies with Mentions.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: GetMentions() function
Acutal: GetReplies() function

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Python-Twitter trunk on Mac OSX 10.5.7

Please provide any additional information below.

See the Twitter API for implementation details:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-statuses-mentions

"Returns the 20 most recent mentions (status containing @username) for the
authenticating user."

Is Twitter really breaking their API just to change the name of the method?  
I.e., is 
statuses/replies actually going away?

See this thread. Looks like Statuses/Replies is a pointer to Statuses/Mentions
although Statuses/Mentions has different parameters.

I have created a patch against 0.6-devel that implements GetMentions without 
removing
GetReplies (for backwards compatibility).  It is attached.

This is obsolete. GetMentions is implemented in HEAD.
