I just checked out the Windows docs, and it looks like the normal
setup for multiple monitors is to treat them like one big virtual
monitor.  They can also be set up completely independently, but then
most Windows functions aren't available, so I don't think we could
support that.

Pixel (0,0) is the top left of the "primary monitor"; other monitors
can be addressed at locations (positive or negative) beyond the limits
of the primary.
