I used the full alist from IR 2.1.16 Lyrics
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/internals-big-page#lyrics
to make it possible to change some more settings (if wished) and added
it to a Lyrics-context.

More concise and only changing minimum-distance for v2.16.0 would result in:
\layout {
        \override Lyrics.VerticalAxisGroup
                  #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing #'minimum-distance = #5
}

Thats quite short, too.

But you're right, I love the new syntax--possibilities, too.

Cheers,
