Personally, I successfully use Wine to build, ship and test for Windows. There are some pitfalls related to -optl-mwindows and encodings, but, if you launch your program with $LANG set to proper windows encoding like cp1251 and the std handles closed with 0>&- 1>&- 2>&-, it should crash on related errors the same way as on 1>windows.
I am not (yet) aware of any Haskell programs that don't run under Wine.
Thats a very interesting solution. I use Wine to run the test suite when I cross compile one of my C projects from Linux to Wine.
Would you consider documenting the process of setting everything up to build Haskell programs under Wine on the Haskell Wiki?

Aside from what I posted above it's same as on Windows, just install Haskell Platform. There's already a page on Haskell Wiki http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC_under_Wine though it seems very outdated. I can update it with my own observations when I get an HW account, they seem to have switched to manual registration while I wasn't looking.
