A retweet will have an embedded retweeted_status object. Example
(first one from spritzer, not necessarily a favorite):
{
coordinates: null,
favorited: false,
created_at: Mon Aug 16 04:03:17 + 2010,
truncated: false,
retweeted_status: {
coordinates: null,
favorited: false,
created_at: Sun Aug 15 22:58:25 + 2010,
truncated: false,

If we are listening to the stream api/filter using track and getting
JSON output, I cannot see anywhere that I can determine if something
is a retweet except explicitly checking the text of the tweet.
Am I missing something or should I simultansously be listing to the
retweet stream and try to cross match the 2 (that seems like a waste
of resources).
Any advice?
