Using secure memory

Hello,
I am a libotr[1] contributor, and I'd like to make use of libotr's
secure memory; unfortunately, I can't find in the documentation the
correct way to initialize it: Libotr is not a program, it's a library,
and this situation is not described in the documentation[2].

Also, I'm wondering how I can estimate how much memory I should
allocate; for now I tried with 32k and the testsuite is running great,
but I'm worried about some possible breakages.

Cheers,
