Summary:                    [Patch] Add rollback Option to makefile
Description: 
Add options to makefile:

make rollback: copy all binaries ( modules + asterisk ) in a backup dir.
make rollback-install : restore backuped binaries.


I needed this so that I never have to recompile asterisk in case of a
wrong patch.
I just have to restore old binaries and production restarts !

We discussed this on IRC, and came to the conclusion that this
functionality would be best achieved by just keeping copies of the source
around if you plan on rolling back to it.  All of the people who spoke up
agreed that this is exactly what they do on their systems, and that it
provides more functionality than we could hope to include here.

Because of this, I'm going to close this report.

We most definitely appreciate it when people post new functionality, and
I'd like to apologize for erroneously requesting that you update this
patch.  It just sometimes doesn't work out like we might expect.

Note: I'm still giving you karma for this :)
