[R] Fit a distribution to an "ECDF"

[MyKenk]

Actually, after thinking about this, what I want to do is to fit a
curve (Weibull and LogLogistic) to the first 9 data points in the
series.  The numbers represent percent of development, and I don't
"trust" the 1.000 point, so I want to fit these curves to get 2
estimates of the tail, both a thick and a thin.  I want to be able to
extrapolate percentage developed beyond 9 periods of development.
