I think that you can try the Articulate script:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/the-articulate-script

The documentation says that LilyPond supports guitar slides, see:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#index-slides-in-tablature-notation

I recommend to always search the keywords in the index of Notation 
reference. Searching "slide" you would have found immediately the link 
above.

What the doc is not saying is that LilyPond supports hammer-on and 
pull-off, but there's an open issue in the tracker for this:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2594

Finally, LilyPond does not support bends yet. You can find some 
information here (and optionally add your bounty offer):
