Thanks!  I can confirm zoom-frm works.  But, it also requires:
frame-fns.el
frame-cmds.el

I favor adding (at least the abililty to easily bind, if not the default 
binding) of ctrl-mouse-wheel as standard in emacs - but I think requiring 
all 3 of these files to do it is a bit heavy-weight.  Perhaps there is a 
simpler approach?
