No, that is not quite what I need. We already have those line numbers on
the left. I wanted a new set of numbers, only in the src-block, and on
the right so they do not get mixed up with the linum-mode numbers. This
is to avoid having to go into the org-src-mode at all.

I suppose it would involve creating new overlays the way that linum-mode
does.
