I've added a script (pSTVCLE.py) that works with pSTV .blt files (as 
well as a couple of bugfixes).  My results for the Cambridge ballots on 
the pSTV front page were:

For CambCC2003.blt (city council):

Davis, Henrietta
Decker, Marjorie C.
Galluccio, Anthony D.
Maher, David P.
Murphy, Brian
Reeves, Kenneth E.
Simmons, Denise
Sullivan, Michael A.
Toomey, Timothy J., Jr.

For CambSC2003.blt (school council):

Fantini, Alfred B.
Grassi, Joseph G.
Harding, Richard, Jr.
Lummis, Ben
McGovern, Marc C.
Walser, Nancy
