I debated the same thing and ended up splitting one line.
FWIW, I used this to perform the conversion,
  perl -pi -e 's/\b(test .+) -o (.*)/$1 || test $2/'
but had to run it 3 times to convert the line with three -o's.

Don't bother revising.  I'll push this as-is,
but we should eventually split all long lines in configure.ac.
