I'd put it differently: there's not much LilyPond *cannot* do.
For starters, add
ragged-bottom = ##t
to your paper block.
Then, read 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables
(notice that the documentation is about current stable version -
2.14.2.  In 2.12 things were done differently).

If you have more questions, ask!
