The distributed config does work (it configure RT at '/rt'). Changing
this to '/rt/' would break installations for people visiting '/rt' so it's
not something we can change now. Probably the most useful thing to do
would be to add a commented out line indicating how to configure RT
correctly to be run from '/', since it's not that obvious.
