Attempting to build on a fresh Debian system, ./bootstrap.sh failed citing not recognizing aclocal as a proper command. I discovered this is included in the Debian autoconf package, which is not referred to in any ZNC build guides. Perhaps this should be added?

If you're building from tarball, it already has configure script, so no need to generate it using boostrap.sh.
Well, patch for docs (and/or fix in wiki) are welcome.
