That's brilliant!
I was trying for a long time to figure how to do that before finally learning
about the "official" way to do it -- by using the lastpage package.
Here's the URL for lastpage:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lastpage/
When I have the time I'm going to try your label/reference way. It's a *very*
slick idea.
Thanks
