You could use something like the following in the \header block, which 
will appear at the bottom of the last page.

        tagline = \markup {
            \fontsize #-3.5
            {
                Engraved on \date using \with-url 
#"http://lilypond.org/web/";
                { LilyPond \simple #(lilypond-version) 
(http://lilypond.org/) }
            }
        }
