Comment (by Saizan):
I've needed this command a lot lately, so i've written this patch.
There are 2 TODOs there since i wasn't sure what was best from an UI pov:
* When no precise version is specified it defaults to the latest that
match,
should we also take the packagePreferences field in consideration here?
* Currently it ignores exceptions (however if something goes wrong the
functions involved still print error messages), summarizing failures at
the end like in 'cabal install' is probably what we want.
