When replacing a configuration file with command-line options and/or environment variables, you still end up with configuration files. The difference is in syntax; with environment variables and CLI options, your "configuration files" will take the form of executable scripts, most likely in either shell or Perl syntax.
Good point. Instead of a configuration file, you have configuration logic. Although often that's more friendly to hackers :-)
