You say, "You should not have to do anything with fontinst...."  Now I'm confused. Don't I still need to use fontinst to create the .fd, .vpl, and .pl files for the actual Adobe Times-Roman Small Caps fonts, then use vptovf and pltoft to create the corresponding .vp and .tfm files (and move them into my local texmf tree)?
