Following a prompt from the Twitter Tools author himself, Alex King, I’ve made a small update to my YOURLS plugin for Twitter Tools 2.0 to make the YOURLS API URI configurable from the Wordpress administration interface.
YOURLS plugin for Twitter Tools
Click to download twitter-tools-yourls-1.1.zip (4Kb).
Install the plugin into your Wordpress plugins directory and activate in the administration screen as usual. Once activated, you may configure the YOURLS API URL and login credentials by selecting the Settings -> Twitter Tools menu option, then entering and saving the required details. The YOURLS API URL must be the full URL to the API script, including “http://”, the hosting domain and “yourls-api.php” as appropriate.
If you have a Wordpress blog and a Twitter account, Twitter Tools is a very useful plugin to have. Pop over to Alex’s web site and download your copy.

A long-time Twitter Tools user myself this was exactly what I was looking for after having finished my yourls installation yesterday.
Thank you for your efforts!
