The scroll wheel is already supported, simply bind a command to "zaxis", like so:
moveMap.bind(mouse, "zaxis", "onScrollWheel");

The function will be passed a parameter which represents the direction and amount of scroll applied:
function onScrollWheel(%x)
{
...
}

This number may be fairly large, and require scaling down appropriately. For instance, when using this to adjust a magnification factor for a window, we scale it by 0.0005.
