Keep the structure type descriptor (the first value which make-struct- 
type returns), and use swindle's struct-type->class on that  
descriptor to obtain a class object which describes structs of that  
type.  For example:

(define-values (struct:my-struct make-my-struct my-struct? my-struct- 
get my-struct-set!)
   (make-struct-type 'my-struct #f 1 0))

(define <my-struct> (struct-type->class struct:my-struct))

Now you can use <my-struct> anywhere a class object could be used in  
Swindle.

Good luck!
