I use Putty as my SSH client on my home Windows 2000 Pro.
What I do is put all of my ./configure info in a text file, select all of it, and then paste it into the Putty terminal.
There won't be an option at top of the menu bar to Edit > Paste, but you can right click into the terminal window and paste.
If you don't have Putty, do a Google search for it. It's free.
