[PATCH 00/12] Download WSDL for SOAP services from server

I just used C-M-x (eval-defun) to reload the WSDL, but here is a
complete patch series that implements it transparently to the
user.

The current WSDL object is passed around efficiently via a keyword
argument without any caching. It seems to work reasonably well
locally.

We can discuss better URLs, although I'm not sure it's a convention
everywhere. The giant leap forward here is that users can pick their
own servers without asking you for an update of debbugs.el (or editing
their version of Debbugs.wdsl in place).

Kind regards
