In fact this hook is not only meant for classes but anything you'd like 
to add to/do with the backend. That might also be the reason why EXT:... 
is not resolved here (don't remember my thoughts exactly when coding this)

So by specifying a php file you can do what ever you want. For example 
check the opendocs system extension. In ext_tables.php it uses that hook 
to load its registerToolbarItem.php file. In that file again it 
registers (obviously) the toolbar item for the extension.
