[R] Latin Hypercube with condition sum = 1

[Ben Bolker]

  In that case won't

x2 <- (x-min(x))/(max(x)-min(x)) ## establishes criterion 1
x3 <- x2/sum(x2)                 ## establishes criterion 2

 work?  I haven't thought about this very carefully, but
since transformation makes min(x)=0 and max(x)=1 (and therefore
sum(x)>1 -- although it won't work if length(x)<2 or var(x)==0)
transformation 2 will necessarily reduce the range and therefore
not violate criterion 1 ... ?
