Gravel is the annoying thing to encounter whilst mining if it had a use it wouldn't be a bother as much and i would mine it. I don't think it would be too complex for all blocks to have a use i think its better the more you build and create with blocks the better and more entertaining minecraft becomes.
Otherwise no one would play anymore because they probaly feel they've done everything possible on minecraft. But then again you can expect this to happen to always happen.
ROCK CAKE, egg + egg + milk + gravel + furnace. No, just kidding xD
Think of what gravel is used for in the real world... nothing, huh?
If I don't incenerate my gravel I just use it as construction filler. I just wish Notch would make it not obey gravity... it's a pain to mine out a 5-high wall of gravel to continue my 1x2 mine.
EDIT: Or, perhaps we could find gold dust/iron filaments/redstone dust in gravel by panning in it. And 3x3 dust equals an ingot (except redstone)
Other suggestions include using it to craft concrete and asphalt, in various ways.

Doing this would give you a more useful block.
