I tweaked it a bit:

* Readded copyrights staatement
* Proper AST_MODULE define
* Documented the build command
* And even a small fix

I'm not sure how much I like it, though. I tried it:

exten => backticks,1,NoOp(backticks test)
exten => backticks,n,Backticks(testvar1,ls -l);       failed
exten => backticks,n,NoOp(got: ${testvar1})
exten => backticks,n,Backticks(testvar2,ls);          failed
exten => backticks,n,NoOp(got: ${testvar2})
exten => backticks,n,Backticks(testvar3,/bin/ls -l);  worked
exten => backticks,n,NoOp(got: ${testvar3})
exten => backticks,n,Backticks(testvar4,/bin/ls);     worked
exten => backticks,n,NoOp(got: ${testvar4})

So when using it, be sure to use full path.
