It doesn't work for me. The output is not correct and I get the 
following warning:

? brace missing for \newedenvironment

This is probably because the }-brace and the {-brace after 
\begin{verbatim} are not recognized.

A testcase can be found in my Debian bug report for this at the bottom: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218834

I attach it here additionally.

I need the environment for generating the sourcecode-boxes in this 
document: http://www.xith.org/tutes/GettingStarted/html/simple_header.html

Currently I use a workaround, by  putting

\begin{codeblock} % adds HTML for starting a codeblock
\begin{verbatim}
[... code ...]
\end{verbatim}
\end{codeblock} % adds HTML for ending a codeblock

I'm not the only one working on this document (but the maintainer) and 
using only \begin{codeblock} and \end{codeblock} would be more intuitive 
and save some time.

As said before I'm happy to answer your questions, if something is not 
clear.

Jens
