 When developing a package, you want to specify as wide a range of build-
 depends as possible, but it's often quite tedious to keep checking if your
 latest development effort hasn't made your package incompatible with some
 ancient version of a library you use.

 In view of this I think it would be helpful to have an option that asks
 cabal configure to pick the oldest possible version of each dependency, so
 you could quickly and easily ensure that at least the two endpoints are
 covered.
