I'm not sure what your two points are exactly... PLT's implementation of
SRFI 9 is in terms of its own structure system, so defining a SRFI 9
structure is really the same as defining a PLT structure (I believe).

SRFI 69 is just a subset of the functionality of PLT's hash tables with
a slightly different interface.  Porting it to PLT should just be a
matter of mapping one interface to the other (maybe there are more
subtle issues I'm forgetting about).  You shouldn't need to use the
reference implementation at all, or implement any datastructures.
