Subject: Connecting an RGB monitor to the C64?

A friend of my has an 80 column RGB monitor that he would like to use with the C64. The RGB monitor does
not come with a composite input phono-port. Instead
It only has one 6 pin DIN port.
What he would like to know is whether there is a
way to connect the C64 to his RGB monitor?
 
He is thinking of connecting all the color lines together of the RGB
monitor to the Video-output pin of the C64. Is this a wise thing to do?
Will it work? Is there a better method of doing it?
 
I have noticed that in the newer C64c there is an extract
Chroma pin output. Does this extra pin facilitates in the
connection to the RGB monitor.
 
Any help will be appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,
