BTW, would you need "testcases only for instance" or
"testcase for top-level and instance" ? I thought latter...

OK, that's better.

My idea is using INSTANCE_DIR not only for instance name, but also
for a flag which indicates "instance test is running, need to be removed".

I see.

Yes, that's good to me :)

As I said above, INSTANCE_DIR can be a test flag too, and that
ensures we've actually made it. (Just for make sure there is)
BTW, maybe we can use mktemp if you'd like avoid name conflict.
