Thanks, now completion is much better.  I noticed another problem
with partial-completion - it doesn't support wildcards in the file name:

1. M-x project-find-file RET
2. Type 'm*file', then TAB, to find lisp/multifile.el
3. It completes only to the files where directory matches 'm'
   and file name matches 'file'.

Also it seems impossible to separate words by the space character,
e.g. 'm file'.
