The way we do this with Estatio is to override the configuration properties
as per [1]

An alternative approach is to specify an AppManifest (because the
AppManifest can programmatically override all the environment-specific
config properties using whatever mechanism it wanted, eg reading an
environment variable).

I expect that the AppManifest's feature list will grow as we work through
the use cases; but what's there is a useful start already.
