It's an xemacs-ism. In emacs, you do (setq load-path (push 
"~/slate/etc" load-path)), but repeating it will not avoid duplicate 
entries.

HOWEVER, the actual solution (post-0.3) is to use the new unix makefile 
target install-emacs, which just places the slate-mode.el in the emacs 
lisp directory where you can just auto-load it with REQUIRE and just 
use the defconst forms. This avoids needing to modify the path.
