With my patch, no_excerpt_show_top keeps on working. But I give high priority
to the description.

And so,  for me, use_meta_description has more power than other options. Please
tell me if it is not by you. If I found a description, it is always shown. And,
if no excerpt has been found, and no_excerpt_show_top is set to true, it
display the top. I think is right.

    if (config.Boolean("excerpt_show_top", 0) || use_meta_description ) 
        first = 0;
    else
        first = allWordsPattern->FindFirstWord(head, which, length);

    if (first < 0 && config.Boolean("no_excerpt_show_top"))
      first = 0;  // No excerpt, but we want to show the top.
