 In a .cabal file like:

 {{{
 name:          music
 version:       0.0
 cabal-version: >= 1.2
 build-type:    Simple
 build-depends: base == 4

 library
   exposed-modules:
     Music
 }}}

 which uses new-style syntax but puts the build-depends in the global
 section, the build-depends get ignored.

 It should either warn or reject this, or it should automatically propagate
 such global options into each buildable component.
