Sometimes, the package compiles fine on a given version, but the tests don't run. Currently, we don't run the tests at all. We should. But since running the tests often take much longer than building, we should make them optional. Perhaps we could also allow an external verification script to be ran?

Does cabal-rangefinder mutate the current working directory? If so, then this should be rather straightforward to implement, as follows, wouldn't it?

If the user specifies --enable-tests for cabal-rangefinder, e.g. cabal-rangefinder my.cabal --enable-tests
- Then run cabal install --enable-tests && cabal test on each iteration.
- Else run as we do currently.

Yes, I agree that it should be straightforward. Would you like to take a stab at it? I'm rather busy with other Haskell projects at the moment.
