sounds good.

Yes - the tcltkgrass menu entry for d.zoom was outdated. I have fixed
that two days ago.

cd src/tcltkgrass
cvs login
  password: grass
cvs up -dP
gmake5 -i

restart GRASS. Then it should work (d.zoom on cmd line already does
for you).

You have reached 99% already :-)

Good luck for the remaining 1%.
