hostinfo egg also contains an example array0->string-vector which
takes a NULL-terminated array of char* and returns a vector of scheme
strings.  It also points you to how to construct a list instead.
Drawback is you have to be careful that you don't allocate too much
data or you'll overflow the nursery.

I'd perhaps do it this way:

(foreign-primitive scheme-object ()
  "char *str[] = \"hallo\";"
  "C_word *buf = C_alloc(C_SIZEOF_STRING(strlen(str)) + C_SIZEOF_PAIR);"
  "C_word str = C_string2(&buf, str);"
  "C_return(C_a_i_list(&buf, 1, str));")
