New issue 2810 by asmeu...@gmail.com: Cannot do integrate(cos(k*x)/(x**2 + a**2)/(x**2 + b**2), (x, -oo, oo))
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2810

This is in Tom's gsoc-3 branch. Heurisch of course doesn't stand a chance with this since the integral is non-elementary.

In [20]: integrate(cos(k*x)/(x**2 + a**2)/(x**2 + b**2), (x, -oo, oo), meijerg=True)
Out[20]:
∞
⌠
⎮        cos(k⋅x)
⎮  ─────────────────── dx
⎮  ⎛ 2    2⎞ ⎛ 2    2⎞
⎮  ⎝a  + x ⎠⋅⎝b  + x ⎠
⌡
-∞

a, b, and k are real.

The answer can easily be computed using residue calculations. I think it's given as

2*pi*I*(exp(-k*abs(a))/(2*abs(a)*I*(b**2 - a**2)) + exp(-k*abs(b))/(2*abs(b)*I*(a**2 - b**2)))

Note that it would be awesome if we could do this, since it appears that WolframAlpha cannot, though it can if you give it a specific k.
