Well, you could expand the plugin to do that. Define eg trees as spawn points 
for leaves, maybe.
If one were to do that, I'd suggest to generalize, ie define 
multiple "spawnable lists", each with spawn zones and points.

It's a rough first implementation :)
I didn't try that hard to adapt precisely to eg the port shape, and zones can 
just try to put on walls (but server won't let, of course).
Feel free to change that, of course.

In the suggested changes, it would probably make sense to define the zones in 
the maps themselves, maybe, or something not closedly linked to the server...
