If you don't need to have the libraries installed for a convenience 
library, use "noinst_*". See:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#A-Library

Similarly for libtool:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Static-libraries

The answer from Mike is correct, they're static libraries that other 
programs may link to if wanted.

How do you plan to use this library?
