You need `file-name-nondirectory' around `match-string' here (and in
another similar place below).  But generally your patch should work
correctly for links in the same Info file, so I think it is a good
improvement.  (And I'd prefer one loop with `if external-link-p' inside
for clarity, because two separate loops wouldn't get significant
speedup here).
