Default adding nofollow to blog roll links

I am looking at the wordpress function wp_list_bookmarks() but I am failing to see where I can change something like
Code:
<a href="http://www.payperpost.com/">
to
Code:
<a href="http://www.payperpost.com/" rel="nofollow">
.
I have these links on every page of the blog and I don't want to pass PageRank to them, I would prefer to do it to links that are in the content of the post.

Any ideas ?

FYI : a great solution can be found here, it requires a file edit, but still it's worth it.

making changes to the main functions is not really helpful as anytime you upgrade you have to manually edit the page which in turn could create problems.

An easier way is to log into your database, open the wp_links table and change the "link_rel" from "me" or anything else to "nofollow".

This way you have more control over it.
