[PythonCAD] zooming with mouse wheel

This patch allows you to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.  I
think it has three problems:
  1) the scroll increment is too large for a wheel.
  2) it's a little hackish to be calling a menu item (but I wanted the
     patch to be short).
  3) The scrolling should also pan at the same time so that the object
     you're pointing at remains underneath the pointer.

Anyway, if people try this patch and think this is useful, I'll keep
working on it.  Any suggestions beyond the three above?
