Creating tables without double quotes around table and column names

I have a job that is writing data to a PostgreSQL database. In the tPostgresqlOutput components I have selected "Drop table if exists and create" as the "Action on table".
Unfortunately, this generates code like this:
stmtCreate_tPostgresqlOutput_1
  .execute("CREATE TABLE \""
   + tableName_tPostgresqlOutput_1
   + "\"(\"rejectReason\" CHAR ,\"file\" VARCHAR  not null ,\"rowNumber\" INT4  not null ,\"Name_SalesRep\" VARCHAR(17)  )";

As PostgreSQL is case-sensitive regarding table and column names, I then have to use double quotes every time I access these tables, which is 1) annoying and 2) leads to problems in an application I use further on that has to work on this data.
Is there a way to prevent Talend from generating code with double quotes?
I'm using:
Talend Open Studio for Data Integration 5.5.1.r118616
PostgreSQL 9.0.4
Both running on: Mac OS X 10.9.4

I know this behaviour and yes you are right, this is crap!
Actually I do not use this function because I prefer self written SQL DML statements. A couple of options of PostgreSQL is not available if you let the tPostgresqlOutput component create the table (e.g. enums or encoding settings).

@cwurm: As this is an old post.... have you found any solution by now which prevent Talend from generating code with double quotes? I am currently working on Talend 6.3.1

 

Any suggestions would be very helpful.
