Hi Mike

This feature is supported as documented in that ticket.
To find the right status ID you can call a timeline method with the
parameter include_my_retweet=1.

The include_my_retweet parameter will cause a new datapoint
"current_user_retweet" to be included in the status if the current user has
retweeted it. This datapoint contains the status ID of the retweet the
authenticating user created. This is the status ID to destroy if you wish to
undo the retweet. If the element is not included it means the user you are
OAuthing with hasn't retweeted that status.

Example:
    "current_user_retweet": {
      "id": 26815871309,
      "id_str": "26815871309"
    },
