[yocto] How to modify busybox

In order to modify busybox, my googling seems to indicate this
can be done with
bitbake -c menuconfig busybox
When I do so, a window pops up and some compiling seems to
happen, but I am never presented with the menuconfig app.
How do I modify busybox?

What I really want is the httpd app in busybox. There is a bunch of code in
busybox.inc that I don't understand. My naive attempt at using it was adding
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " busybox-httpd"
to local.conf, but that yielded

Error: busybox-httpd not found in the base feeds (zedboard_zynq7 zynq
armv7a-vfp-neon armv7a-vfp armv7a armv6-vfp armv6 armv5e-vfp armv5e
armv5-vfp armv5 armv4 arm noarch any all).
