All you need on your end is a sane setup for installation, including 
building of shared libraries and installing necessary headers for 
userland programs.

Each individual distribution can easily package your exofs-utils into a 
deb or RPM.

Some of my projects have to do this.  Here is one way, the highly 
standardized GNU autotools.

Take a look at autogen.sh, configure.ac, Makefile.am, 
include/Makefile.am and lib/Makefile.am from 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/daemon/distsrv/chunkd.git

That demonstrates how to handle building and installing a shared 
library, header files and programs.

A lot of people dislike GNU autotools, but it's main benefit here is 
that Debian/Red Hat/Novell/Canonical/etc. are well-versed in creating 
.deb or .rpm from GNU autotools builds.  It makes integration into a 
Linux distribution much easier.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
