- Use `ThreadingHTTPServer` since it has much better support on Windows than `HTTPServer`; this was also experienced when web support was added to Briefcase

Empty files are a bit weird; it would be desirable to have at least some dummy content:
See Toga releases for change notes.

LICENSE files definitely can't be empty - I'm sure someone would choose to interpret this as "this code is free for all", and decide that applies to the entire Toga repo.
Released under the same license as Toga. See the root of the Toga repository for details.

Was this a required change, or just one that seemed like a good idea?

The commit has a bit of this information but this was behaving strangely on Windows. The first few times I tried to start it, it would log "Starting server..." but not start serving the static page. After messing around with it for a bit, it seemed that after waiting a while, it would start working. But even then, it would often hang when trying to shutdown the server.
This was a lot of what we encountered when we added the web server for briefcase run web. Basically, it was a mess on Windows until we started using the ThreadingHTTPServer.

Ah - I missed that the explanatory detail was in the commit message.
Changes
briefcase runto work for the examples for as many platforms and output formats as reasonablebriefcase runsincepython -mandbriefcase devaren't entirely native.NOTE: This is easiest to review each commit individually.
Limitations
--targetimplies all the necessary packages are already installed on the host system--targetwould require adding the appropriatesystem_requiresto all thepyproject.tomland that just seems like a lot to maintainpyproject.toml.sedcommand could be used to update these, the use-case for building these formats for these examples is weakPR Checklist:
