Uhmmm, what's the problem?  After all, montone reads the passphrase,
twice, from stdin.  In perl, I'd do this:

  open FOO,"|monotone --db=$db genkey $id" or die "$!\n";
  print FOO "$pass\n$pass\n";
  close FOO;

Well, OK, add some kind of wait() type thingie in the C code, and
you're done, basically...
