Michael also asked about this on emacs-devel. I looked but I can't see
a simple way to do it. package.el functionality isn't available in this
context.
Besides, I wouldn't really want to require a specific version range of
web-server.el. Anyone with up-to-date elpa.git won't have the issue you
ran into. I think elpa main tip and emacs master tip should always be
compatible for these tests from now on.

OK, thanks.
