Hi John,
As Marcus already mentioned you can use design functions from firdes module 
(gr_filter_design also uses these modules).

Martin, Josh and Tom gave me many suggestions regarding adding the designer to 
GRC, so that users can launch the designer from GRC itself (something like this 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqLIPHXCM1M&feature=plcp). This feature will be 
added to GRC once the design tool is complete.

Thank you for your suggestions.

That is pretty awesome, Sreeraj.  Is the output of the program a set of 
co-efficients to be copy-pasted, a compilable block, or something else?  It 
might be useful to have a feature where the user can call a custom python 
script with the co-efficients passed as arguments.  This would allow users to 
easily generate formatted files, like those used by Xilinx coregen or some 
custom format that might be poked to the FPGA, for example.  It would be neat 
to make some updates to GRC to allow the user to open the utility and 
re-generate co-efficients as they do in MATLAB.

This is making me think of some other potential projects, like a
    similar 'digital modulation designer'.  For example, we might use a
    single block for all modulation types, select the modulation type
    and parameters, run simulations to determine BER vs. Eb/N0,
    theoretical discrete constellations, ACPR, PAR, etc.  Or perhaps, a
    "packet designer" where you can graphically configure FEC,
    interleaving, sync words, etc.  Obviously, the complexity on this
    one could grow real fast.

Just ideas... Hopefully you'll have a chance to present your
    approach to this at the GNU Radio conference. 

-John
