[Franklin] I've wanted to kill it for a while but I was told that customers 
frequently asked for a very lightweight web server so we kept it there to show 
it off.
Other than documentation I don't think we refer to thttpd in our sdk.

[Franklin] This change will cause problems for one of our scripts. Since we are 
extremely close to our release I would prefer if we hold off on making this 
change. Wed of next week would be prefect if yall don't mind waiting. I'll 
update the scripts at that point to reflect this change.

I don't see a command to manually change this behavior to mimic how it 
currently works once this change is made. So if such a command/option does 
exist then I probably can fix the scripts real quick to make that change.
