I like the incremental query-replace* suggestion. 

The isearch-* family of commands already do the desired cursor motion.
It shouldn't be to hard to use these to write a purely lisp routine to
do incremantal-replace-*. One would have to devise an intuitive way of
toggling to/from "add-to-regexp-in-the-minibuffer" mode and
"replace-this-match" mode. [Sure emacs is modeless ...]
