I forgot to mention, there's now a new module in CVS called gr-build.
It makes working with all the modules in CVS much easier.
First checkout gr-build.  Then use its tools to checkout and build the
rest.  It's much easier than doing it all by hand.

Here's the README from gr-build.

This directory contains a set of tools that ease working across all
the CVS repositories and modules that compose GNU Radio.

  ./checkout [--anon]
 
  checkout performs a CVS checkout of all modules that compose GNU
  Radio.  Depending on the value of the USER environment variable,
  either an anonymous or developer checkout is performed.  Anonymous
  checkouts return the same data, but changes can't be committed.
  The checkouts are into subdirectories of the current dir.

  Generally speaking, checkout only needs to be used once.  See
  for-all-dirs for examples of cvs updates.


  ./for-all-dirs [any shell command line...]

  for-all-dirs executes the given shell command in all subdirectories.
  The order the directories are visited is controlled by the contents
  of the .buildpri file in each subdirectory.  The .buildpri files have 
  values such that the proper build order is obtained.

  To build everything from scratch, first use the checkout command,
  then execute:

    ./for-all-dirs ../buildit

  This performs the bootstrap, configure, make, make check, make
  install sequence on each directory.

  Another common use is to grab the latest changes from all the CVS
  repositories:

    ./for-all-dirs cvs -q up

  Everything else works as you'd expect.  E.g.,

    ./for-all-dirs cvs -nq up    # see what's new, but don't update
    ./for-all-dirs make clean
    ./for-all-dirs cvs -q commit # check everything in


Happy hacking!
