Well, well, well.
OK. If this link is correct 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html
then `test` is not standard extension for /bin/sh . I guess it is
bash-ism and this is the reason it is implemented also as external
program.
Don't forget that configure starts with /bin/sh .

I cannot believe that an C programmer would prefer -o/-r over ||/&&.
If you really do ,I do recomend putting:
#define -o ||
#define -r &&
and repleacing all occurances of &&/||. (e.g
if((stream_dump_type)-a(stream_dump_type<4)) ;)
Also If you find {} unreadable then i propose
#define begin {
#define end }
These combined with our patented random indentation system will
gurantee us an persistent leading place in all C obfiscation
competitions.
