Must be a Windows thing or something particular to you maybe.  Most of
them work for me, but then almost everything on my system is
automatically built form source packages (not by me, of course).

Yes, that's normal.  Can you remember the package i.e. can you say where
you got the source without the configure script (it can probably be
easily fixed)?
