I think you want to use survreg().  It will still work when there is no 
censoring.


Adding these families to glm() would be difficult. They are really not 
generalized linear models in any of the useful senses: not exponential 
families, don't have estimating functions linear in the response 
variable, not fitted by iteratively reweighted least squares.
