I was thinking about outputdir, not temp-instance.  The latter is
already created:

        /* make the temp instance top directory */
        make_directory(temp_instance);

Attached is an updated patch that creates outputdir if necessary.  This
is possibly going to trigger a time-to-check-time-to-use coverity
warning, but the rest of pg_regress does if(!exists) mkdir() type logic,
so I did the same.

Besides the pg_regress change, the only thing I've changed is to remove
the in-line "$(MKDIR_P) output_iso && \".
