There is an automated installer at http://www.fsck.com/pub/rt/contrib/3.0/rt-3.0.4.exe

You don't have to run configure or use the source tarball. You don't
need cygwin.

The automated installer downloads everything you need for RT. If you
want the apps for other purposes, the vendor supplied installers are
quite easy and straightfoward to use. Use the ActivePerl port of perl,
since that is what most people use.
