Actually, I discuss that in my OpenType MyWay, also... my solution is to
define a font family for roman caps [rc] beside the roman [rm] font
family. A change to small caps is done with \switchstyleonly[rc], so if
you're in SerifBold, you end up in SerifCapsBold.

Take a look in type-atc.tex in the accompanying zip archive for more
details...

It ends up being memory-hungry, and probably a bit slower than other
options, but it kinda works.

Funny coincidence, I was looking around apostrophic labs and other free
fonts as well, this weekend. Then I found fontsanon.com. :)

Cheers,
adam
