from the info page:


8.3.5 Libtool Convenience Libraries
-----------------------------------

Sometimes you want to build libtool libraries that should not be
installed.  These are called "libtool convenience libraries" and are
typically used to encapsulate many sublibraries, later gathered into
one big installed library.

-> the problem is "not be installed"

the base library from my project is "libmsgque" and this library is
used for the following purpose:

1. installed as library 
2. used as base library for a language-extension library
3. used as base library for some test-tools.

for 2+3 I don't want to link again the shared libraray of "libmsgque"
