Well in general it looks like it should just be passing on the current 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (whatever that contains). Would something like
exec xterm -e LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$env(LD_LIBRARY_PATH) d.zoom
(in the Tcl code) not work?

And there is also the problem (noted in Glynn's original e-mail) that e.g. 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is called different things on different platforms, e.g. 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on OS X. But this can be fixed by dynamically 
substituting the correct variable name in at compile-time like is done for 
lib/init/init.sh
