this is correct.

you can force a genome to be evaluated by passing 'true' to the 
'evaluate' member function on each genome.

so, for example, you could write your own population evaluator like this:

void
MyPopEvaluator(GAPopulation& p) {
   for(int i=0; i<p.size(); i++)
     p.individual(i).evaluate(gaTrue);
}

then to use it:

GAXXXGenome g;
GAPopulation p(g);
p.evaluator(MyPopEvaluator);
GAXXXGA ga(p);
ga.evolve();
