Consistently use one conditional notation, ('[]') over

I am not an expert on shells, but I think the [] construct is less
portable that the "test" construct.
If you grep the "configure" scripts generated by Autoconf, it
exclusively uses "test". I have not read every line
carefully however. If you grep the configure.ac files, same story.
[] in configure is a PITA because [] are special in m4. That doesn't
apply to this script.
Actually, autoconf changes the quotes _to_ [] from the more-pervasive `'.
("test" is used for portability, though this list doesn't touch much on
that).
