Perhaps using the package <<NumericalMath`CauchyPrincipalValue`
Here is what I tried


In[333]:=
a=-1;
b=1;
c=-2;
d=2;
<<NumericalMath`CauchyPrincipalValue`
Integrate[((x-a)*(x-b)/((x-c)*(x-d)))//ExpandAll//Together//Sqrt,{x,a,b},PrincipalValue->True]//N//Chop
CauchyPrincipalValue[((x-a)*(x-b)/((x-c)*(x-d)))//ExpandAll//Together//Sqrt, 
{x, a,{c},d}]
CauchyPrincipalValue[((x-a)*(x-b)/((x-c)*(x-d)))//ExpandAll//Together//Sqrt, 
{x, a,{c},b}]
CauchyPrincipalValue[((x-a)*(x-b)/((x-c)*(x-d)))//ExpandAll//Together//Sqrt, 
{x, b,{c},d}]
CauchyPrincipalValue[((x-a)*(x-b)/((x-c)*(x-d)))//ExpandAll//Together//Sqrt, 
{x, b,{d},c}]


Out[338]=
0.812598

Out[339]=
0.812589\[InvisibleSpace]+1.34387 \[ImaginaryI]

Out[340]=
0.812598

Out[341]=
0.\[InvisibleSpace]+1.34385 \[ImaginaryI]

Out[342]=
-0.812589-1.34387 \[ImaginaryI]

Hope this helps
