 Opening a ticket for testing/discussion/proposal of a new plugin,
 MythTwitter.  Should run fine on either .22 or Trunk.

 In short, MythTwitter is a simple frontend to the Twitter microblogging
 service.  If a user has a login at Twitter, they can post tweets from the
 timeline (Info Center->Twitter) or with the Twitter "miniplayer" (unbound
 by default, bind a key in the key editor).

 In short, apply the patch and compile plugins with --enable-all or
 --enable-mythtwitter.  Open the timeline and you should see the public
 twitter timeline.  Even without an account, you can view the public
 timeline or the timeline of specific users.  Edit your login information
 to have access to your personal timeline, friend timeline, friending
 options, and the ability to send tweets.

 This adds an interesting/fun social aspect to using Myth, allowing one to
 send tweets from any MythUI screen.  Once we have a notification widget, I
 will see about hooking incoming friend tweets/direct messages in to that.

 The only bug I am aware of at the moment is that if the buttonlist is
 being populated and the plugin is exited, it is possible to segfault the
 frontend.  Presumably I'm not cleaning something up right, but I will
 track this down before too long.
