have you had a look at the mbiter module of gnulib?  Its documentation
says that you can turn:

      char *iter;
      for (iter = buf; iter < buf + buflen; iter++)
        {
          do_something (*iter);
        }

into:

      mbi_iterator_t iter;
      for (mbi_init (iter, buf, buflen); mbi_avail (iter); mbi_advance
      (iter))
        {
          do_something (mbi_cur_ptr (iter), mb_len (mbi_cur (iter)));
        }


and seems quite straightforward to me.
