Is there a noticeable size increase from including parts of the Scala library? I know Proguard will probably strip out a lot of unused classes.

You absolutely need proguard since the Scala library is several megs in size, and will likely grow bigger when specialization goes everywhere.

I haven't tried myself, but I have used GNU Kawa to great success, and your right, Proguard does strip most of it out.
