Hi Simon,
Thanks for trying it out and thanks for the patch. I've pushed it to HEAD.

Good question. You could either be asking
* what's the earliest version of Cabal that doesn't blow up when it sees a
benchmark sections, or
* what's the earliest version of Cabal that can actually make use of the
benchmark section.
Duncan, which one should be report in the guide? Seems like the latter.

There already is one, I just haven't documented it yet. It works just like
'cabal test'. Example:
cabal configure --enable-benchmarks
cabal build
cabal bench
See 'cabal help bench' for a list of flags. Right now 'cabal bench' and
'cabal test' won't build the benchmarks/tests if they're not up to date. I
don't quite remember the reason. I think it was technical. Duncan? Thomas?
Cheers,
Johan
