#387: `cabal check` does not complain about incorrect `Cabal-Version` field
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

      Type:  enhancement    |       Status:  new   
  Priority:  normal         |    Milestone:        
 Component:  Cabal library  |      Version:  HEAD  
  Severity:  normal         |     Keywords:        
Difficulty:  normal         |   Ghcversion:  6.10.1
  Platform:                 |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 The validity of the `Cabal-Version` field is not verified in any way,
 making it all too easy to accidentally use a feature which isn't actually
 present in all the versions of Cabal the field allows.

 Sounds like something `cabal check` should do.
