python_select dependents

Hi,

the following ports declare a dependency on python_select:

$ port echo dependentof:python_select
glib2
rubber
swig-python

No port should ever declare a dependency on python_select, as this does
*not* pull in any python and therefore you cannot be sure that it works.
Also the symlink ${prefix}/bin/python is intended for the user only, and
not to be used by ports.

Please change this dependency to one of the pythonXY ports and use
configure flags or add a patch to use ${prefix}/bin/pythonX.Y instead.

Thanks,
Rainer
