Given numbers of votes for a list of parties and a fixed total number of seats, the method of Sainte-Laguë allocates seats to each party. The article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-Lagu%C3%AB_method describes details of the method. The Matlab function sainte_lague can also return the results of the modified Sainte-Laguë method.

Version 20100928 fixes a bug with the modified Sainte-Laguë method, and adds features to facilitate the modeling of different vote scenarios.
