Description

I can `cabal fetch mypackage.cabal` to fetch all dependencies declared in a cabal file.

However, cabal will only do that for my default ghc; the packages that have to be downloaded for a different ghc version might be different.

It would be great if there was a `cabal fetch -w` flag, like there is for e.g. `cabal install`.
