Yes, but I would like to build a system library that other projects could
link agains, whether they might be using libtool or not. so which file
should I install ?

Writing a simple Makefile by hand is not a problem, and currently I (a)
aim only for Linux, (b) want to know how to write Makefiles (my first real
attempt at understanding what's going on there) and (c) learning
automake/autoconf is lower priority for now (that is - lower then making
the library build an link correctly on a Linux machine).
