Description

An default project without any additions includes the following build output:

package LICENSE.txt does not exist; excluding resources: ["LICENSE.txt"]
package README.txt does not exist; excluding resources: ["README.txt"]
adding empty module for missing package __phello__
adding empty module for missing package config-3
adding empty module for missing package config-3.7m-x86_64-linux-gnu

It may not be problematic, but excluding a LICENSE.txt doesnt sound good given the goals of this project.

And package FOO.txt .. and ...missing package config-3... look as though PyOxidizer is confused about how to handle files from the Python distribution.
