Yes, thanks for fixing this Mattias.

As I remember, jump bumping the version of a core ELPA package on
emacs.git's master branch will result in it being updated in the
archive.  I've done a minor version bump, so we'll see if 3.2.1 appears
in "list-packages" within 24 hours.

Done, added (emacs "24.1") to Package-Requires.  Excorporate 1.0.0,
which uses most of soap-client's features, works back to Emacs 24.1.
