Aha!  It hadn't occurred to me to try convert-ly.  Just for the record, 
the syntax change is as following:

Old style:
   \set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = ##f
New style:
   \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = ##f

Many thanks!

P.S. For the record, I keep the latest of both the 2.6 and 2.7 branches 
installed, in /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin respectively; I have aliased 
"lilypond" to the 2.7 branch, and "lily26" to the 2.6 in my .bashrc.
