[MiKTeX] installation of mathdesign (version from 2/2006) in Miktex 2.5 beta 13

[<ps...@cs...>]

The update manager shows only the version of mathdesign from 5/2005 when 
in fact there is a new version as of 2/2006. I tried different mirrors 
(dante.de, tug.org, and "random"). They all suffer from the same 
problem. Going to the ctan.org pages for mathdesign 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/mathdesign/, I notice that there 
is a big zip file (at the top) which has the old version of mathdesign 
in it. The individual zip files further down the page are the *new* 
version. I suspect that's why the cab files contain the *old* version of 
mathdesign.

I tried to do a hand install of the individual zip files into the Miktex 
root directory (and subsequent "initexmf --mkmaps"), but miktex got very 
mad:

makemf: The mdbchrc8t source file could not be found.

Couldn't find `mdbchrc.cfg'
maketfm: No creation rule for font mdbchrc8t.

                   relax
l.5 {\sc
         Arnold, D.~N., Falk, R.~S., and Winther, R.}

How do I get out of this pickle? I need the new version because I want 
to install the real small caps fonts (which may bring up another 
question down the line...).
