Actually, the score I'm working on at the moment gets the "couldn't fit 
music on page: overflow is x.y" warnings in the log without any spacing 
overrides, and I can (presently) get rid of them by adding

system-system-spacing = #'((space . 0) (padding . 0) (stretchability . 
4) (minimum-distance . 0))

to the \paper block. However, I don't like the resulting look of the 
output, as the space between the bottom stave on each page and the foot 
of the page varies too much for my taste.
