Btw. Where can I find informations about the configure script language?
You don't want to learn that (it is a mixture of m4, bourne shell and
various little helper programs) ;-) Have a look at the experimental
configure.py, it is only one language and will replace configure.m4 in
the long run.

Meanwhile, if desperation or morbid curiosity leads you to want to poke
around the current shell script, I can tell you where I got my
information -- from sh's internal help.
'sh -c help' will list the internal commands sh knows.
'sh -c "help test"' will, for instance, provide specific help on the
test command (note that "help test" must be inside quotes).
That covers the bash portion, which as Georg points out is not everything.
