E.g., com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast.
Needs to use the current (v6.5+) Play Services, but it allows us to unbundle. This means we get more control over our dependencies, less need to ProGuard (though we still should), and faster builds.

Setting tracking so this gets on people's radar.

OK, this is interesting. If you don't use the AAR files in the Maven repository, you can only use the monolithic play services JAR. Said JAR clocks in just under 4M and that doesn't include resources. (I've checked that it's the only JAR provided, and that the GPS version is 6.5.7.) This is what we do now.
To get the fine-grained dependencies, we need to use the AAR files. I can't say for sure, but assuming we need -base and -cast we get about 1.2M of code *and* resources.
I know how to arrange to use the AAR files in our existing build system, but this ticket feeds into a larger build system discussion about using an external build system (like Gradle, but also possibly Buck, or Pants, or even (shudder) Ant). I have a blog post written about this to post!
The next steps on this ticket will be for me to surface the larger discussion to the mobile team.

This shouldn't be tracking a particular release.
