So I guess the answer to my question "will the solver present integral
solutions to me in a callback prior to accepting them" is no. Not what
I hoped, but ok. Seems like a useful feature, to have a callback in
step 5 of the branch and bound algorithm as listed in the
documentation. So after GLP_IROWGEN (where the LP relaxation is
solved) but before GLP_IBINGO (where the integer solution is
accepted), such that you can still modify the problem.

I'll see if I can find these books you suggest. It's of course a
question how applicable they'll be given my problem only vaguely
resembles the TSP, but they may have useful ideas.

Have a nice day,
