both the v2_0branch and SVN TRUNK now have a new plug-in named "Phoenix" it will respawn you where you die. If you haven't died before it will start you in the normal spawn for the server.

This may be useful for race type maps. If it needs more features, let me know.

you can get the code from SVN and build it if you wish to try it.

I could see this turning some maps into a camping fest - one tank waits for the other to spawn, kills it, waits for it to spawn, kills it, etc.

I would suggest the option to have a normal spawn, if the player is killed within x seconds of respawning n times in the same place.

Catch my drift?

this is not a plug-in for general server use. If you have places that can be camped, then don't use the plug-in, or modify it for your needs. It was made for the RACE type servers, where the score is not set by kills. Not your normal FFA or CTF.
