So why would you want to do this on Windows RT? There are, as of yet, no unauthorized apps. The idea in many of today's stories on the jailbreak seems to be that you will be able to run legacy Windows programs, but this is pretty obviously mistaken: legacy Windows programs are, almost exclusively, compiled for Intel processors, and never for ARM. They can't run on RT.
