[R] Goodness of fit test for estimated distribution

Hi,

is there any method for goodness of fit testing of an (as general as
possible) univariate distribution with parameters estimated, for normal, 
exponential, gamma distributions, say (e.g. the corrected p-values for 
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Chi-squared with corresponding ML estimation
method)? 
It seems that neither ks.test nor chisq.test handle estimated parameters.
I am aware of function goodfit in package vcd, which seems to it for some
discrete distributions.

Thank you for help,
Christian
