I've implemented a bit of respawning intelligence:

1. Test floor: If floor is fl-abyss, fl-water or fl-space then don't
respawn there!

2. Test item: If item is it-laserbeam or it-burnable-ignited then
don't respawn there.

3. Test stone: Never respawn there, but continue searching adjacent
positions for good respawn location, if the stone is movable or
floating or if it's a puzzle stone.

4. Test nearby actors: Tries to avoid low distance to enemy actors.
Distance tried to keep depends on type of actor.


Effects to the game:

- Avoids instant death after respawn. If you find any other floors or
items, that should be avoided, please drop me a note.

- Its makes it possible to die-and-respawn onto the other side of a
stone (see attached level). I think this will not really affect any
of the existing levels.
