The default's still .monotonerc, as for Unix.  If you're running under 
Cygwin or MinGW, it'll look in your $HOME.  If you're running from a 
windows command shell, it'll look in $USERPROFILE or $HOMEDRIVE+$HOMEPATH

It's probably easiest to use the --rcfile option.

Yes.  The installer optionally creates you a monotone database, but it's 
only trying to be helpful, you can certainly create more databases if 
you want.

> 3) where to find info on building monotone on Windows XP; 

I last posted the instructions for this on October 15th 2004, you should 
find my mail in the archives.  Those instructions are still pretty much 
accurate, though if you want the testsuite to work, there are a few more 
steps.  I have a draft of updated build instructions, I'll try and get 
round to posting these.
