I don't like the environment variable approach because of the dependency on global state makes deploying harder.
I'd usually have a config file like config.clj whose contents were just a Clojure map. When loading the application I'd pass in the location of the config file as a parameter, and read-string the file at run-time. That said, it can sometimes be convenient for development to have some default config file location, so you don't always need to pass the config location in.
