May be the search should be based around finding
i(n), k(n), l(n) and m(n) as some integer functions of n, where i(n)
appears to represent the various powers of 2 ) in the following (using
Maple's notations) guessed (by me ) identity

Pi = A002485(n)/A002486(n) - 1/(i*l)*Int(x^m*(1-x)^m*(k+(k+l)*x^2)/
(1+x^2),x = 0 .. 1)

Does above guesstimate help in writing a program ?

Of course my above identity guess may be not accurate and it may be
that in the end the actual experimental finding might reveal something
else (or nothing at all ;-) )
