[Haskell-beginners] Can I set Cabal conditional options for all build targets

Hi,
Is there a way to set a conditional in a .cabal file that applies to all
the build targets in the file?
I have many build targets and repeating the conditional for each of them
doesn't make sense.
But I get an error message when doing that.
For example, I can do this in my example.cabal file:
----
name: MyExample
build-type: Simple
-- the conditional flag I want to use
Flag production
Description: Attempts to get production env
Default: True
executable client
main-is: client.hs
if flag(production)
CPP-Options: -DPRODUCTION
executable server
main-is: server.hs
if flag(production)
CPP-Options: -DPRODUCTION
------
So I have to specify the options once per target. I get an error message
if I move the "if flag(production)" outside an "executable" block. And
the docs "seem to indicate" that's not possible.
Thanks,
Dimitri
PS. I'm using cabal "1.20.0.3"
