parentHandle the fact that -current defines pselect() already. (diff)
1. Update version to 1.7.1.
2. Rewrote pkg-comment and pkg-descr files. 3. Marked pkg-plist file as not done. 4. Made do-build and do-install targets indicating that this port is not at all ready to even be looked at. The repocopy was a placeholder for when I can get to it.

+Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant with
+the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and include
+files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU standards for
+Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl script. The input files
+are called Makefile.am. The output files are called Makefile.in; They are
+intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires certain things to be done
+in your configure.in. This package also includes the "aclocal"
+program. aclocal is a program to generate an 'aclocal.m4' based on the
+contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as an extensible, maintainable
+mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
-Automake assumes the project uses autoconf. If you want automatic
-dependency tracking support, the use of GNU make is also required.
