Monsters shouldn't stop respawning just because you leave the area.

Details of the problem are explained in the patch.  Since I haven't figured out 
how to build yet, this isn't tested.

Updated patch. It's now actually tested (what a novelty, eh?) and using 
rijackson741's more accurate formula

ok, so this patch is still not perfect. It will only do a respawn once per 
spawn area. I'm going to propose in the forums changing spawns so that the time 
of respawn (in world ticks) is decided at the time monsters die, which should 
simplify this a lot as well as save a lot of calls to System.getCurrentMillis() 
(which always results in a system call that forces the kernel to talk to the 
clock hardware) and will also reduce the use of Random.nextInt().
