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?
