Oh... that's pretty straightforward with the rewriter in clang;
RewriteObjC.cpp in the source tree should serve as an example of that
sort of ASTConsumer+ASTFrontendAction, and the clang-interpreter
example in examples/ in the source tree shows how to run an
FrontendAction.  There isn't really a good tutorial at the moment...
