This is true, but its not as bad as you think.  If you just want to make radios,
the only directories you need to know are

src/gnu/examples  --- to see how it's done
src/gnu/python --- to see how it's done in Python
src/gnu/lib/gr  --- general processing blocks
src/gnu/lib/grio --- IO device blocks, like files, soundcards, AD boards, etc.
src/pspectra/lib/{vrp,vrio} --- older, soon-to-be-replaced blocks

You never need to look in cppunit or any of the config-related stuff.  Most of
the stuff under pspectra, especially the needs-work dirs are not really of
interest either.

We are planning on eventually removing the pspectra stuff as it is updated or
replaced.
