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?
