Summary: doc: Incorrect propertycopy def'n in propertyselector e.g.

Initial Comment:
In http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/propertyselector.html
the example at the bottom shows: 
[...]
<target name="print.name" >
      <propertycopy name="pack.name" value="package.${pack.id}.name" />
      <echo message="${pack.name}" />
</target>
[...]

This example is incorrect for several reasons:

1) The name attribute of propertycopy has been deprecated. It should be replaced with the property attribute.

2) propertycopy does not have a value attribute; it has a from attribute.

3) pack.name property has already been set, therefore the overrides attribute of propertycopy must be set to "true".

I believe the example should read as follows:
[...]
<target name="print.name" >
      <propertycopy property="pack.name" from="package.${pack.id}.name" overrides="true"/>
      <echo message="${pack.name}" />
</target>
[...]
