Please post a patch with the changes that you have in place and I'll 
look at putting these in to the official version of SWIG with some 
suitable macro to enable. Is there a macro indicating an Android JDK 
rather than a normal JDK that could be used?

Use swig -v to display the paths that it looks for files in. The 
./swig_lib/java directory is probably the best place to put in your own 
version of director.swg.
