How do you save yourself the trouble of configuring this extension?

What sorts of configs have you had to do for Putty?

Setting unicode, changing backspace, setting xterm-256 as the TERM variable, etc ... PuTTy configuration is unintuitive when you first try to configure it. There's a well known page dedicated to configuring PuTTy properly on Windows.
I haven't tested this extensively myself, but have you looked at ExtraPuTTY?

Seems like one of its goals is to make it easier to move PuTTY configurations from one machine to another.
