I dont know if it is clever, but I have wrapped all the RETURN from a rule in 
a macro, that do the bean counting.

The linenumbering is done by one rule:
<INITIAL>\n|\r	{
  l$++;  // line counter
  c$=0;   // column counter 
  o$+=yyleng;  //offset counter
}

for more details see pl1gcc.sourceforge.net or mail me directly.
