[BioC] summarizeOverlaps using GRanges or bed file as reads?

Hello,
I would like to manipulate the start and end positions of my reads
before calling summarizeOverlaps. One way to do this is to convert my
reads to a GRanges and then use flank, narrow, etc. to properly position
the read ends where I want them. However, I don't see a method for
summarizeOverlaps that accepts a GRanges object or bed file or similar
for the reads. Is there such a method, and if not, would it be possible
to add it?
The specific application I have in mind is single-end ChIP-Seq reads,
where we have a good idea of what the fragment length is and would like
to extend the reads to this length. Alternately, it may be preferable to
count only the 5-prime ends of the read, and this could be done by
narrowing to 1 bp length.
