Thank you very much for your effort. Pretty amazing what's doable. 
Unfortunately there are two issues: The distance between numbers and 
source lines is too small for bigger line numbers. I just have to make 
"distance=0em" big enough for this to work, right?

The other thing: The width available for the caption is capped by the 
width of the longest source line. I think I prefer the source lines to 
start at the left margin.

In addition there is something else I didn't think of when I put up that 
mail (sorry for that). If I put (a very long piece) source inside a 
figure I won't have pagebreaks, right? So this makes me think it's 
probably not what I'm looking for.

Splitting up long source code in several pieces (one per page) and put 
them in separate figures doesn't seem right to me. Setting it as 
numbered paragraph? Putting up a fake caption with \placefloatcaption 
(which doesn't seem to work in MkIV)? Are there other possiblities of 
numbering (by section) more or less big chunks of source code I'm not 
thinking of? That would help me very much. Thanks for thinking about that.

Best regards,
Stefan.
