Does Montezuma not support child themes?

Creating my first WP site, I chose Montezuma. I want to avoid hacks and use best practices, so I created a child theme. Unfortunately, nothing I placed into my child style.css had any effect.

In http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=19722, I read that:

Montezuma has a series of options for editing the CSS. When you use the options in the theme, the changes are stored in the database as a theme option. No need to create a child theme or use a plugin. My suggestion is to add any CSS overrides to the end of the 'clearfix.css' so you can find them quickly and they are all grouped together.

I have a few questions:

Does this mean Montezuma does not support child themes?
Is editing Montezuma's one CSS files the only way to modify the base theme?
- If so, will my overrides be wiped out when the theme is updated?
- On the flipside, if your CSS + my overrides are stored in the DB, when the theme is updated, should I assume the DB will prevail? Would that mean that the theme would ignore some of its CSS updates if the corresponding CSS file (overridden) has been duplicated into the DB?

I've spent two frustrating days trying to get even the simplest overrides working, in a child theme, before I found the post above. Any answers will go a long way towards helping me understand Montezuma better.

Thanks for your help.
