Hello Wolfgang,

I hardcoded the number when I needed it, but you proposal is very
useful for the next time when I will need it again. I only need to
figure out where to store it on the wiki/texshow, so that it will be
possible to find it agin. (This still cannot handle the problem  if I
wanted to number "last page of frontmatter", but I don't need it at
the moment.)
