[PATCH]: Create vim - vi alias
Hello, I'm not sure if this would be useful to anyone else. On our embedded product we don't have support for shell command aliases, and I'm in the habit of typing 'vim' instead of 'vi'. This patch adds a configurable option to allow busybox to respond to both 'vim' and 'vi'.
