You can check out 'docs' and it will pull the howto-write-a-block
module along with the rest.

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs(at)savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnuradio co -P docs

put the 'at' sign in place of (at) above
or just the howto

$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs(at)savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnuradio co -P 
docs/howto-write-a-block

directories with a Makefile have a rule to run xmlto, in this howto you can 
run it manually

$ xmlto html-nochunks howto-write-a-block.xml

will make an html you can open in mozilla
