We have a few procedures in the math module, but they are more concerned
with the number of combinations/permutations/... not with searching the
solution space.

It is a fair bit of code :), recently updated for Tcl 8.x by Georgios 
Petasis.

Ah, no, of course not. The original author of the simulated annealing 
page is
Kevin Kenny and I contacted the authors of Tcl-BC two or three years ago
about their code, not about this specific use, but they were happy to see it
surface again. So I do not think we will have trouble getting their consent.
