If you found it in the whatevercoin data directory you'd know it was for whatevercoin.
If you found it anywhere else whatever would cause you to imagine it was really a wallet.dat at all, and not some random trojan trying to keep you from deleting it by naming itself wallet.dat?
If you found a file in your backups directory named bitcoin-wallet-30-Jul-2013.bak on the other hand, you might guess it is a backup of a bitcoin wallet.dat, possibly made on or about 30 July 2013, maybe even by you yourself...

Would some of you "coin developers", which i throw this term out loosely, please please please take the time to rename the wallet.dat file to something different for each coin.. I am so sick of every single coin having the same wallet name.. I mean if I found a wallet.dat file right now I would have no idea what coin it was for.. how long would it take me to figure this out? So could some of you please rename the friggin wallet file to something relevant to the coin it is attached too.
Thank you and good luck to all!
