[BusyBox] Newline doesn't match $

Hello!

We have a problem with regular expressions - '$' doesn't match the
newline:

[proskin at sunapee busybox]$ echo hi | ./busybox grep hi$
[proskin at sunapee busybox]$ echo hi | grep hi$
hi
[proskin at sunapee busybox]$ echo hi | ./busybox sed -e 's/hi$/foo/'
hi
[proskin at sunapee busybox]$ echo hi | sed -e 's/hi$/foo/'
foo

"man regex" mentions REG_NEWLINE, but our regex implementation doesn't
seem to usderstand it.
