Nevermind....

It took quite a while to get my brain into elisp mode.  Once that happened I 
realized that my solution was write there on the help page for replace-string.
Right there where it says you probably don't want to use replace-string.
Pretty much the only real change I had to do was to use the COUNT option on
search-forward.
