   One other problem.  /pounds gives a dollar symbol. I am not immediately sure why 
   this is.  A few words from someone who has already done this would be welcome.

The real reason for this is the layout of the cm fonts: at the
position where cmr have the dollar sign, others have the pounds sign.
This makes it difficult to change the shape of the pounds sign from,
say, upright to slanted: You have to know the right font.

The problem you mention will definitely be solved with the upcoming
update for the NFSS.
