You can, `cabal build --ghc-options= "-fforce-recomp -ddump-simpl -O"` 
should work (though it applies to all packages).

`cabal init` is your friend. That said, there are very little fields to 
be set for minimal package, `cabal-version, name, version` and the 
library pragma with `build-depends` and `exposed-modules`.

After you have done such package few times, you will remember those 
easily. I'd argue a lot more easily that remembering how to use `cabal 
install --lib` properly.
