I love genetic algorithms. I wrote one for the 0-1 knapsack problem back in school, then used a genetic-ish algorithm (didn't have enough time for a true GA) to win a rock paper scissors tourney at work.
It seems to me that one needs another genetic algorithm to manage all the variables (such as mutation rate, population size, crossover, etc) because they have such an impact on the effectiveness of the algorithm.
Gives me way more respect for mother nature. ;)

This has been tried in the literature -- usually by adding those parameters to the genome. Basically it's a wash.
