Alex has signed the FSF papers, and he did continue to polish the
code. I propose to add the two packages to the trunk:

;;; soap-client.el -- Access SOAP web services from Emacs
;;; soap-inspect.el -- Interactive inspector for soap WSDL structures

Personally, I use soap-client for months, it works stable for me.

Any objections?
