Pretty sure you still have to use plain arrays and strcmp, what are these "safe" libraries you were going to use? Unless we are talking about C++ here?
There are others. Basically, if you wrap your dangerous C app in a thin, impenetrable layer of solid string processing and input validation, it's very manageable.
Valgrind and input fuzzing help considerably to work out any bugs.
