Re: convenience binaries

[Sander Niemeijer]

Yes. At least for libraries. For libtool you use noinst_LTLIBRARIES to 
create convenience libraries. These are often used as intermediate 
libraries for a series of object files that are later on included in a 
final executable or library which /will/ be installed.
