While waiting for the adoption of CSS3 targeting by the major browsers, one could run the following sed command once the (X)HTML has been created:

sed -i 's|href="http|target="_blank" href="http|g' index.html

It will add target="_blank" to all external hyperlinks. Variations are also possible.

I use this at the end of the makefile which generates every web page on my site.
