Haskell is very good at writing portable code, but there are some things
to keep in mind:

  * Use System.FilePath instead of string operations,
  * use a portable media library like SDL,
  * when using System.IO or Control.Concurrent modules, pay attention to
    the Haddock documentation.

That should make your library portable enabling you to reach a much
larger portion of the Haskell community.
