The absolutely correct answer is
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded/ChangingTheOEBuild, which I
just wrote to describe how I make changes like this.

The simple, much easier in this case, answer (but I didn't do it this way),
is:

cd openembedded/packages/busybox/busybox_1.00
bk edit defconfig
ex defconfig
/# .*VI_
s/# \([^ ]*\) is not set/\1=y/

and so on.  I.e. look for the config lines for VI which are commented out,
uncomment them and set the value to "y"

Then rebuild (busybox at least - you can install the ipk manually to test
it.)

If you want to live dangerously you can do:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TweakKernelOrPackagesInOE and just use
"make menuconfig" directly in the busybox working directory (I think that
will work, but if not there are detailed instructions of how to do it in the
first link.)
