i think that the best way is to

module FilePath

import FilePath.Windows as Windows
import FilePath.Unix    as Unix

isProperPath = if weOnWindows
                 then Windows.isProperPath
                 else Unix.isProperPath

then GHC can optimize it, throwing away unused branch at compile-time.
and yhc will work just fine with its portable bytecode
