Since I'm not familiar with appoggiaturas/acciacaturas in any way, I'm 
not sure if this is is relevant for the topic. But a while ago I posted 
a scheme function which allows adding slashes to note stems, see here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-04/msg00422.html

It's a rather generic function with a number of parameters that can be 
tweaked so as to achieve precisely the kind of slash the user desires. 
Maybe this can be useful for what you want (or maybe I completely 
misunderstood the topic). It may require cleanup or adaption before it 
is added to LSR, though, so you are welcome to improve it. But perhaps 
it's a start.
