Jenkins does have some of its own deployment concepts and plugins, but
it is good to get your own script working first.  I'd still consider
sticking the build.xml in svn somewhere just to make sure it is always
up to date and appears in the right place since jenkins will take care
of that grunge work for you.

C:/jenkins/workspace/my_jenkins_job/
You could have a lot of jobs, each with different build.xml files.
Also note that the C:/jenkins/ part is something you could change in
the node config.
