Actually I've just tested this. I'm using * 1.0.7 with bristuff.
There is an application PickupChan:

*CLI> show application PickupChan
*CLI>
  -= Info about application 'PickupChan' =-

[Synopsis]:
Channel independent call pickup.

[Description]:
  PickupChan(Technology/resource[&Technology2/resource2...]):  Tries to
pickup the first ringing channel in the parameter list.

It's working fine, although I'm not sure if it comes with asterisk or with
bristuff ...
