I've switched to the new Vector skin, but enwiki still doesn't differentiate
between visited and unvisited external links by default.

It's nice that this is user-customizable.  But most users don't install custom
CSS, so it'd be very helpful if you set it by default.

At http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20040503.html usability expert Jakob Nielsen
writes, "Knowing which pages they've already visited frees users from
unintentionally revisiting the same pages over and over again."  He says that
this is extra-important for users with bad short-term memory, such as many
older users, but important for everyone.

Reopening.  Bumping from "trivial" to "normal" because this is a
usability-related request, not a cosmetic issue.  Adding keywords
"accessibility, easy".

Would you accept a patch to fix this?
