Why isn't this first ?
I would generally expect an environment variable to take precedence over
all other configuration options except command-line options.
You are right, that an environment variable should be considered first. But I 
think one of the three possible solutions is enough. I did not mean to 
implement all three in this order. For me the environment variable is the 
solution that i like least.

Wouldn't that open up a can of worms in terms of security of the application? If setting an environment variable is enough to change what libs get loaded and you can point to arbitrary different libs, that means injecting your own code in other peoples applications becomes really easy, right? I think you could use that to get rights escalation.
