To pacify the no-goto folks, you can always do something like
...
for(whereToGo=FIRST_PLACE; whereToGo!=EXIT_LOOP_PLACE;){
    switch(whereTogo){
    case FIRST_PLACE:
        /* do something and decide what's next */
        whereToGo = ANYPLACE_NEXT_YOU_LIKE;
	continue;
    case ...
    }
    ...
}
