Twitter plugin enhancements code review

[Timothy Stone-3]

I have previously submitted a fix to the plugin that corrects the look  
up of properties (in the blog, not the user) table.

I have also taken on improving the Twitter notification plugin and  
added the use of bit.ly URLs to the "tweet." Don't know bit.ly? Think  
tinyurl on Web 2.0 social web steroids.

This new "enhancement" leverages the XOM (http://xom.nu/, XML Object  
Model) library to parse an XML response from the bit.ly service  
(available in JSON or XML).

The enhancement does not assume you want to use bit.ly, so the absence  
of properties in the blog will skip the bit.ly request.

Attached is the patch (plus XOM 1.1 library). XOM compiles Jaxen  
internally, so remove any Jaxen implementations you might have from  
$BLOJSOM_HOME/WEB-INF/lib. Jaxen provides XPath support to some XML  
libraries. Place xom-1.1.jar in $BLOJSOM_HOME/WEB-INF/lib.

On that note, I'm considering refactoring the varied XML libraries  
provided in the blojsom distribution with the XOM library. It really  
is a well thought out library for XML consumption and production.

Let me know what you think. There is some room for refactoring. I  
didn't get to fancy and welcome the review.

Regards,
Tim
