Using twitCurl how do I pass parameters to twitter URLs

I need to access the Twitter API for a quick project I am working on and not wishing to get too tied up in learning the API I thought twitCurl would be the ideal solution.

At the moment, all I need to do is开发者_如何学Python get the latest mentions for a Twitter user, which twitCurl can do very easily and takes care of all the oAuth stuff into the bargain.

But I now want to use the 'since_id' parameter in my call to the API. I can see no way to do this with twitCurl, and in fact there seems to be no way to pass parameters to many of the twitCurl calls. Am I missing something or is this something seriously lacking from twitCurl?

If this is not possible then can someone suggest and alternative C++ wrapper for the Twitter API.

Thanks for reading.

I don't like to answer my own question but I have fixed it and just in case anyone else has the same problem I will document it here.

I modified the twitCurl code to add an extra parameter, a string to represent the 'since_id'. It was really straightforward in the end and I have submitted the changes to the twitCurl developers. Here is my diff of the changes if you can't wait:
