I suspect the main problem is not the algorithmic way to generate the
absolutest best route EVAR! but the hardest part if probably making a
new application to sort and show all this data, even if the route is
only 'good enough'

Is it this travelling salesman software:

You may find that adding openstreetmap to your web searches helps to find 
openstreetmap related stuff.

If you import your OSM data into a PostGIS database, you should be
able to use PG Routing.  http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/

PGRouting does the Traveling Sales Person algorithm.

http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/wiki/TravellingSalesPerson

The OpenRouter project is a lot less mature, but you may also want to
check that out.http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenRouter

Google "travelling salesman problem". This sounds like an almost
perfect example of that. There is even a piece of software called
"Travelling Salesman" which is supposed to help, but I don't know if
it does OSM.
