If you want a ready-made software that gives you more control over the database structure than osm2pgsql offers, I suggest you have a look at imposm (Python). If you want a solid programmer's framework for your own OSM parsing and processing, I suggest you use osmium (C++).

Another useful feature would be to scan the .osm file for all tags
used and the other tags they are used with.

taginfo.openstreetmap.org does that on a world-wide basis but the software is available for installing locally so you could run taginfo for your area of interest only.

I am in the very early stages of a C program (using GTK for the gui)
with the eventual goal of allowing output as database input or
conversion to GIS formats. I'm stuck with some of the interface code
ATM.

You'll probably get stuck with other things later - it is not as easy as one might think; you'll want pbf support, proper multipolygon handling, and other things that cost time to implement. The aforementioned software takes some of that burden away.

Bye
Frederik
