minor vi bug (and possible fix)

I've noticed that busybox's vi doesn't handle <count>$ like other vi
implementations. From Vim's help section on $:
$ or <End> To the end of the line. When a count is given also go
[count - 1] lines downward |inclusive|.
This behaviour is also mentioned in:
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/vi.html>
Busybox's vi does not act on any count given for $.
A very simple one line fix could be:
case '$': // $- goto end of line
case KEYCODE_END: // Cursor Key End
if (cmdcnt-- > 1) {
+ dot_next();
do_cmd(c);
} // repeat cnt
dot = end_line(dot);
I hope I'm sending this to the right place, thanks for your time.
