The aic function just sums the corresponding density ("d") function
with log=T (except for the normal and inverse Gauss, where it is written out
explicitly). Note that mle are not available for the dispersion
parameter of the gamma and inverse Gauss, although this makes vary
little difference in almost all cases. Thus, you just need to feed the
fitted values (and, if appropriate, the dispersion estimate) into the
corresponding density function without summing.
