Control asynchronous SRAM like synchronous SRAM

Hello,

I've an Virtex II (later it'll be a Spartan 3) witch is connected to
external asynchronous SRAM. Now I would like to access it in the same
way as a synchronous SRAM (like a BRAM for example). I think reading
should work in the same way as with an synchronous SRAM (set address
and /oe and read data at the next clock) as long the SRAM is fast
enough. But I've no idea how to implement a write access in an
efficient way. I could set address, data and /wr and create some logic
that clears the /wr signal at the falling edge of the clocksignal. But
so I could only use half the speed of the SRAM because the /wr signal
would only high for half the clock period.
Please let me know if there is any better way to implement this.

Search for discussions of this in the past (fpga-faq.com).  Also, here's how 
I did this long ago -- too clever by half, I'm afraid:

Ok, Thnx

Michael,

 Another thread on the fpga-cpu group discussed creating
such a gated write strobe by using the DDR output registers
found in S3 & V2:

I also posted a first pass at a memory test using this
technique for the Xilinx S3 starter kit here:
