I think you can use:

\begin{filecontents}{stylefilename.sty}
% put style file here
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{...}
\usepackage{stylefilename}
% preamble here
\begin{document}
% text here
\end{document}


Then when you typeset the file
and the file stylefilename.sty
will appear in your folder as a separate file
automagically.

You don't have to change your document.

Hope this works.
It's been quite a while since I used this.
