How do I create a distributable application in Clojure?

Question

What is the 'least work' approach to distributing a Clojure application? And is this different from the 'best' approach?

For example here is a trivial 'application' that I want to be able to send to someone:

(doto (javax.swing.JFrame. "Hello World")
  (.add (javax.swing.JLabel. "Clojure Distributable"))
  (.pack)
  (.show))

I imagine it makes a big difference to the answer whether they have Java installed already or not.

For Mac Os x, java is installed by default and apple provides JarBundler that allows you to turn jars in to native os x applications. OS X applications don't use installers.

For Windows Launch4j is a good choice it will wrap your jar into .exe with an icon also it will check if java is installed if not download it. For a windows installer i recommend NSIS (winamp's installer).

For Linux, jar file + bash script.
