[Fontinst] expanded fonts

I want to use pdftex's feature of font expansion with Adobe's Stempel
Garamond font.  For this, I have to provide tfm-files of the expanded
(virtual) fonts.  E.g., when using pegr9d, I need metric files like
pegr9d+5.tfm, pegr9d+10.tfm, pegr9d+15.tfm, pegr9d+20.tfm, pegr9d-5.tfm,
pegr9d-10.tfm, pegr9d-15.tfm, pegr9d-20.tfm; and the same for all other
shapes in use, too.  The +5 indicates, that the font is horizontally
stretched by 5/1000, the -15, that it is horizontally shrinked by
15/1000, etc.

This could be easily achieved when using afm2tfm: 
  afm2tfm pegr8a.afm -e 1.015 -T 8r.enc pegr8r+15.tfm
for example, produces the by 15/1000 horizontally expanded Roman encoded
with 8r.enc.  Unfortunately, it seems to me to be nearly impossible to
produce with afm2tfm SC and OsF fonts.  I tried fontinst, but failed --
mainly because I can't reproduce how the \latinfamily-macro works.

Adobe's Stempel Garamond consists beside the standard fonts of SC and
OsF fonts:

,----
| StempelGaramond-Roman         StempelGaramond Roman
| StempelGaramond-Bold          StempelGaramond Roman,BOLD
| StempelGaramond-Italic        StempelGaramond Roman,ITALIC
| StempelGaramond-BoldItalic    StempelGaramond Roman,BOLDITALIC
| StempelGaramond-RomanSC       StempelGaramond RomanSC             
| StempelGaramond-BoldOsF       StempelGaramond RomanSC,BOLD        
| StempelGaramond-ItalicOsF     StempelGaramond RomanSC,ITALIC      
| StempelGaramond-BoldItalicOsF StempelGaramond RomanSC,BOLDITALIC
`----

I renamed the afm- and pfb-files according to Berry's font-naming-scheme
to pegr8a.afm|pfb, pegb8a, pegri8a, pegbi8a, pegrc8a, pegbj8a, pegrij8a,
pegbij8a.  (In fact, I was a little bit in doubt whether I should name
the OsF-fonts as OsF-fonts (j) or as SC-fonts (c), but decided to do it
the same way Walter Schmidt did.)

With the \latinfamily macro, it is very easy to produce all the (v)pl
and fd-files needed for normal typesetting, but (AFAIK) not these needed
for pdftex's font expansion feature.

My idea was to write a script that uses the low-level-commands of
fontinst and does in a first step, what \latinfamily does, and to extend
this script in a second step to produce the expanded fonts.

However, I failed in the first step.  I read Ulrik Vieth's and Taco
Hoekwater's talk at the EuroTeX '99, and wrote the following script, but
it doesn't produce all necessary fonts.  Especially, I don't know ho to
make the 9? encodings and the OsF-(virtual)fonts.

Thanks for your help,
olli
