Leonardo-

A "list" can hold any type of data, so it shouldn't be a problem to
unpack a struct into a list.

There really isn't a way to automatically convert a C struct into a
list.  You'd have to convert each element of the struct into a Guile
type, then assemble them into a list.  

Converting a C struct to a list is a good idea if you're giving the C
data to Guile, and you won't need the C struct to be valid afterwards.

If you want Guile to operate on the C struct directly because it needs
to remain relevant, then a different approach is used.

Which of the following are you trying to accomplish?

1.  You want to make C data available to Guile functions, and once that
data is passed to Guile, it never (or rarely) needs to be handed back
to C.

2.  You want the C code and the Guile code to be able to operate on the
same C structs at the same time.
