The "short node" changes in the last release relate to Erlang's 
inter-node communication. They do not affect ordinary network 
operations, so that's not the source of the problem.

The config file location is %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq.config. See 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/install.html#configfile, which also documents 
how to change its location.

rabbitmq-c is highly experimental - so experimental in fact that it's 
not even mentioned in our "Experimental Downloads" section on the web 
site. We have not spent any effort on trying to make it build on 
Windows. So I am not surprised it took a while to get working.

We welcome patches, and feedback in general. If you have managed to 
build rabbitmq-c on Windows, could you perhaps post the instructions?

Matthias.
