menu suggestion -- perhaps take first best_guess when guessing.

[Rob Browning]

With texinfo 4.6, if you have a dir file containing

  * Guile Reference Manual: (guile).            The Guile Reference Manual.
  * Guile Tutorial: (guile-tut).                The Guile Tutorial.

and you say "info guile" from the command line, info loads the
tutorial rather than the reference.  I always felt like that was a
little counter-intuitive, so I poked around a bit and saw that it was
because the current code always takes the last best_guess when it has
to guess among equal semi-matches, rather than the first one.

The current behavior may well be what you prefer, but if not, here's a
patch that selects the first best guess instead.

One other possibility that I'd also wondered about was
case-insensitively checking the filename as a potential tie-breaker,
but that might well be the wrong idea.

Anyway, hope this helps.
