Please, please, please don't do that. If users want to open the link in
a new window (or even better, tabs), they can do it themselves - on
modern browsers, middle clicking on a link usually does it. Otherwise,
right click on the link, and select "open in new window".
Forcing windows to pop up in new windows is just very very evil, except
in extreamly rare cases, which this is not :)
