To be fair, GRC was switched over to hier2 blocks pretty early on. But I 
overlooked one import blks line that was in the Custom.py module (just a 
blank file for users to put custom block wrappers in).

The import blks didnt even need to be there, but was overlooked because 
it caused 0 problems when gnuradio had both blks and blks2 modules. Even 
when gnuradio had the blks removed, many people who upgraded would still 
have the old module in their /usr/local.

Its fixed in the trunk, and soon to-be release.
