R help - May 2008 - Simulated annealing method with restarts

Hello R-Help,
   I'm using R to do some optimization, specifically using the optim
method with method = 'SANN' (simulated annealing).  I read the help
file, and noticed that this method does not include restarts/reheats,
which I think would help my optimization significantly.  Does anyone
know of an implementation that does this?  I searched both the internet
and the help archives and was unable to find anything.  Thanks in
advance.
