I pushed to master the new tests, and some build logic to load
dependencies from GNU ELPA.

Lars, can you confirm this works for you:

    make -C test ntlm-tests

(Maybe revert my NTLM workaround in url-http.el, and confirm that the
two new tests fail for you like in this original bug report?)

By default this looks for dependencies in test/../../elpa, but you can
use:

    make -C test ntlm-tests GNU_ELPA_DIRECTORY=/path/to/elpa

if you have it checked out somewhere else.  You'll probably need to
"make externals" to pull my recent web-server.el change.

I'd like to confirm this is workable for the Emacs maintainers before
closing this bug -- i.e., that this is convenient enough that it should
catch NTLM regressions from now on.

Thanks,
Thomas
